		General Portuguese Group Courses Our intensive Portuguese group courses consist of 3 hours of tuition daily, from Monday to Friday. Classes are held from 10.00 to 13.00 with a mid-morning coffee break. Every Friday afternoon we hold a session we call "Português ao Vivo" which consists of presentations of projects assigned previously by the teacher. There is a social programme of visits and activities organised on two afternoons a week together with one full-day weekend excursion during the course.
			Individual PortugueseTuition Students can take between 1 and 6 hours of individual tuition daily or combine an intensive group course with 1 or more hours of individual tuition in the afternoons. The courses can be designed for the individual needs of each person. Whether you want to develop your Portuguese language skills for work or business, for technical reasons or simply for pleasure we can put together the right course for you.
		Levels & Methodology We offer courses at four broad levels: beginners, elementary, intermediate and advanced. Students undertake a placement test at the start of the course and are graded according to the result. How do we teach? There is no single way to learn a language. Taking the communicative approach as a starting point, our teachers select the materials and techniques best suited to you and your needs.	.
			À Conversa sobre... These courses are aimed mainly at foreign residents in Portugal who wish to practise and develop their Portuguese within a relatively flexible approach. They would also be of interest to Portuguese university students who have an interest for debate and discussion whether it be on themes of current affairs or cultural topics.
		Accommodation Most of our non-resident students stay in private houses which have been inspected and approved by International House staff. We can also book students into "pensões" guest houses or hotels if they prefer.
